Only Her by Sandra Owens

Review:

I am going to say that I did enjoy this book. The characters and story were enough to keep me reading once I hooked especially the last few chapters. Both of the main characters were very real and lifelike and it was intriguing to see both work through the things that were causing them problems, both physically and emotionally

However it did take me a little bit to get hooked. I would say that I did get hooked before the 50% mark but it was a slow journey. I'm not sure if it was my mood at the moment or if it was just a slow build so keep that in mind when taking into consideration my review.

Overall it was a good read and one I did not regret spending time with. I will definitely look into reading the rest of the K2 series although this book can be read as a standalone.

Cherry Lane by Rochelle Alers Release Week Blitz!


About CHERRY LANE
In New York City, attorney Devon Gilmore devoted all her time and energy to fast-track her career. She lost her boyfriend . . . but found herself with a surprise baby on the way. To begin a new life, Devon needs a place to settle down-a place like Cavanaugh Island, where the pace is slow, the weather is fine, and the men are even finer. 

From the moment David Sullivan meets Devon, he knows he can't fight the laws of attraction. Whether it's helping fix up the old cottage she just bought on Cherry Lane or working together on a pro bono legal case, he can't help feeling a little protective. But will the most eligible bachelor in town be ready for an instant family? Only if he can convince Devon to put her heart on the line one more time-for all time.

REVIEW:

It took me a while to get into this book. At first everything seemed very descriptive but clinical. It didn't seem as if the characters were really coming alive for me. Devon especially seemed like a robot to me at first. But then we start getting deeper into the book and getting both David and Devon's point of view which starts breathing some life into the two characters.

Once the plot besides the two meeting and getting to know each other starts moving, things move along quickly. Dull moments don't really happen after a certain point in this book and that's good. I enjoyed the plot and it was intriguing. It's amazing how far some will go.

While I took a while to connect to the characters in Cherry Lane, the writing was good and the plot itself was intriguing. It kept my attention and I enjoyed it.

Two Bar Mitzvahs by Kat Bastion and Stone Bastion

(Image found on Goodreads)
"Sp we'd taken things slow. And I'd do it all over again." Kat Bastion with Stone Bastion, Two Bar Mitzvahs
WARNING: Not intended for younger audiences.

Hannah and Cade are finally together and Hannah is slowly starting to trust both Cade and their relationship. But when Cade's ex comes back will Cade be able to balance everything that's going on in his life, as well as keeping a healthy balance with Hannah. Or will things fall apart? Find the official description on Goodreads.

So I was really excited to open this book again, and even more exciting is the fact that Cade's narrating again. I have to say that he is easily my favorite character in this series and I always enjoy his perspective. Mostly because I like the fact that he is male and is narrating the whole book. It's unique or at least unique to me and I always enjoy hearing his thoughts and seeing how they might differ from mine.

Two Bar Mitzvah's starts off where One Wedding left off. Or at least for the most part it does. It was good in a way that it did so because than we could just continue on where we left off.

Well the plot wasn't entirely unique many of the smaller details were. Such as Madison's addiction. That was definitely not where I thought this book would go and it was certainly a shocking thing when it happened. Although to be fair it's a valid addiction. Just not one that many people hear about a lot and it was very shocking because it was far from what I thought it would be.

I fell even more in love with both Cade and Hannah throughout this book and the character growth was amazing. I enjoyed Two Bar Mitzvahs and it was a marvelous addition to the No Weddings series. It is being released on October 20th, and you should be sure to check out both Two Bar Mitzvahs and the rest of the No Weddings series.
